Chapter 6. Introduction to Remote Access Programs
IBM Personal System/2 (or equivalent) workstations can be used to remotely
access the service processor (and network node processor, if installed). These
workstations access the service processor MOSS-E and Controller Configuration
and Management (CCM) by using remote access programs, for example DCAF
and Java
program can either:
The remote workstation operates as a controlling workstation and the service
processor as a target workstation. When an active session connection is
established between a remote workstation and the service processor, you can
perform MOSS-E, CCM, APPN and IP functions as though seated in front of the
service processor.
Chapter 6 to Chapter 17 of this guide include:
Remote Workstations Using Java Console
Java Console can be run as a Web-based or Java program-based remote access
control program that allows a remote workstation to control the service processor
across the network. Java Console provides the same tools for controlling remote
service processors as DCAF. While DCAF is more suitable for SNA-based
networking, Java Console takes advantage of the flexibility in IP networking.
Java Console can be run by the controlling workstation on any platform (OS/2,
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Macintosh, AIX, and UNIX).
For more information on Java Console, see Chapter 15, "Java Console Remote
Access" on page 15-1.
Remote Workstations Using DCAF
Figure 6-1 on page 6-2 illustrates five types of remote workstation access to the
service processor through using DCAF.
